Max meets Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and co. on the Disney Fantasy

"Bliss" does not begin to describe how happy Max was to hang with the gang on the Disney Fantasy. His glee was the same every time he'd spot one of them: He'd break into a huge smile, squeal and make a mad dash over. "Ecstatic" pretty much describes how I felt seeing Max so giddy.

Years ago, real-life characters used to scare him but now, Max can't get enough. I was surprised he didn't ask us to buy a plane ticket home for Mickey.

Can we have a close-up of those adorable red shoes Max is wearing?? Sorry -- I just remembered that he's getting to be a big guy, so I probably can't say that they're adorable. They're REALLY cute, though!Paula -- shoe nerd

Max is getting VERY social in his "double digit" years! And when did Sabrina get so tall? The kids look like they had a blast. I'd love to do that someday, but I'd have to win a contest--that kind of adventure is a bit outside my price range!

Max has always been a friendly kid, but he is exceptionally so around these guys! Sabrina's always been big, but in the last year, she shot up over Max. She sure doesn't take after me, I am height-challenged!

A great time for your family! And that being said, my son and his wife work their butts off trying to keep up with my special needs granddaughter's many doc appts (120 last year) and their 4 year old. They can't afford ANY kind of vacation. sometimes, Ellen, I feel like you throw it in our faces how much stuff you all are able to do that most of us only dream of. Ski trips, country side trips, etc. and now cruising...not to mention all the workshops, that you go on to get a little time to yourself. Do you deserve it? of course, but the rest of us can only live vicariously through your adventures.

I'm sorry you feel that way, PJ. I share because this is the place where I chronicle our family's life, and share inspiration and information. I really, really hope that your son and his wife will get the vacation they deserve at some point, soon.
